Behringer X-DANTE High-Performance 32-Channel Audinate Dante Expansion Card for X32 (B-STOCK)

32-Channel Dante Expansion Card for Behringer X32 Digital Mixing Consoles

The Behringer X-DANTE is a professional expansion card designed to add Dante network audio connectivity to the Behringer X32 digital mixing console. Built for live sound, houses of worship, convention centers, concert halls, and networked professional audio installations, it expands the digital I/O capabilities of the X32 with 32 channels of bidirectional audio over Dante IP networks.

The X-DANTE provides 32-channel, 48 kHz bidirectional audio with high-speed 24-bit signal transmission, sample-accurate synchronization, and low latency. It supports standard 100 Mb/s or Gigabit network infrastructure with DSCP-based QoS, while mixed sample and bit rates can coexist on the same Dante network.

Two RJ45 network connections support professional Dante audio networking, and the secondary connection can be configured for seamless redundant audio operation. The integrated Ethernet switch also allows full remote control of the X32, while Audinate Dante Controller provides configuration and signal routing control between Dante-enabled devices.

For computer-based recording and playback, Dante Virtual Soundcard can be used with a PC or Mac to enable Ethernet-based multitrack recording and playback of up to 64 channels. A Dante Virtual Soundcard license is optionally available from Audinate.
